Default Brake fluid change - clutch fluid affected?
Just changed my brake fluid with ATE Super Blue Racing and the pedal has firmed up nicely. Just about to mount some Pilot Super Sports and I'll be ready for the track.

Question: I remember reading somewhere, a while back, that the brake and clutch fluid are shared on the RS4. Anyone know if this is true? I need to change the clutch fluid if it's not.

Yes they share the same reservoir. However, if you're wanting to flush your clutch fluid, that is a different process.

Actually, you're right - there should still be some old fluid in the clutch line. Would you know where I can access it?

Surprisingly there was lots of crud in the brake lines so I won't be surprised when I drain the clutch.

Thanks dude.
